Flora and Fauna

Flora and Fauna

In the context of the enlargement of the European Union, among the many changes that will necessarily have to be made to a large number of EU laws, is the amendment of the annexes of Directive 92/43/EEC on Habitats and Directive 2009/147/EC on Birds.

During the accession negotiations, Cyprus proposed the inclusion of Cypriot fauna and flora species and the habitat types described below, in the Annexes of the Directives on Habitats and Birds, which was accepted. Subsequently, these amendments were incorporated into the Accession Treaty.
